<div class="fragment"><pre class="comment"> Converts a cell array into a regular array. 

 Each element of X must be a regular array, and must have the same number of dimensions
 k.  Converts X to an array Y of dimension k+1 where Y(:,:...,:,i) is X{i} padded to be
 as big as the biggest element in X (along each dimension).   

 Specifically, let di1..dik be the k dimensions of element X{i}.  Let dj=max(dij) for
 each j.  Then each element of X{i} is padded to have size [d1 ... dk], and then the
 elements of X are stacked into a vector.

 Treats the cell array X as a vector (so ignores the layout of X).

 INPUTS
   X               - cell array where each element is a regular array with dimension k
   padelement      - [optional] element with which to pad (0 by default)

 OUTPUTS
   Y   - resulting array of dimension k+1
